TimedOut and Failed are of course all the way to the right because there is an edge going from Working to them. For example, in the picture below, why does dot choose to draw these strange detours for Working->Failed and Failed->Announced, as opposed to straighter lines? More experimenting and trying some suggestions like ports, given by user marapet, have increased my confusion. I used dot to create the graph and he source code is as follows: 1 digraph JobStateDiagramĦ node ħ Created Ĩ Destroyed Ģ1 edge Ģ2 Empty -> Announced Ģ3 Announced -> Assigned Ģ4 Assigned -> Working Ģ8 edge Ģ9 Announced -> TimedOut ģ0 Assigned -> TimedOut ģ1 Working -> TimedOut ģ3 TimedOut -> Announced ģ5 Failed -> Announced ģ8 edge ģ9 Created -> Empty Ĥ0 Empty -> Destroyed Ĥ1 Announced -> Empty Īlso, anybody please let me know if I do any strange things in the Graphviz file above - any feedback is appreciated. Trying to visualize a better lay-out than this, I think the graph would look nicer if the red boxes were aligned differently, more compact for example like indicated by the arrows in this picture: Are there any parameters I can set to achieve that? Or should I use another command than dot? I tried neato, but the result looked completely messed up and again, I do not really understand what I am doing.
Graphviz layouts how to#
It is not clear to me why Graphviz draws the graph the way it does and how to adjust its algorithm to my liking. So far, I have tried using groups and changing the weights of edges, but not much luck.
I was expecting a more compact result with shorter edges. The layout created by Graphviz is not completely to my liking. I am trying to visualize a simple Finite State Machine graph using Graphviz.
